What this book is

A plain-English guide to reclaiming control of your personal data without becoming a technical expert or giving up modern life. It explains how you quietly became the product, who is collecting what, and why 'I have nothing to hide' misses the point, then walks through your phone, apps, location, browser, social media, email, and AI, with simple settings and habits that actually stick. Practical, unpanicked, and built around 'good enough, and kept up.'

What you get

  • 92-page designed PDF, readable on phone, tablet, and print
  • 13 chapters across four parts, plus a bonus toolkit
  • Step-by-step checklists for your phone, apps, browser, and accounts
  • A data-broker opt-out guide and your legal privacy rights explained
  • A simple privacy routine designed to be maintained, not perfect
  • Glossary, plus research notes with dated, named sources

How it is written

Educational only, not legal or security advice, and not a professional security assessment. Privacy tools, settings, and laws differ by country and change often, so verify current details for your own situation. If you face stalking, abuse, or targeted harassment, some steps can escalate risk. Contact a specialist organisation first. The guidance is defensive and durable in principle, even as specific settings move.
